You rarely see big name players traded at this point in the year because a lot of teams don't have 15 mil in cap space sitting around and won't want to purge some of their roster for a new player at this point in the season. Especially for a player who is obviously injured, and not playing 100% and will be a free agent in the offseason._________________

But realistically, we'd get a conditional 3rd if he walked, right? I'm not that worried that no one's willing to give us a late-2nd for him right now. It's not that big a deal and we need his play because to my knowledge, we don't have a reliable backup AND we're trying to stay competitive during this rebuilding. I'm sure Ross supports them but, c'mon, we do need to stay competitive.

I think you mean a compensitory 3rd. All compensitory picks fall after the round they are named for, thus if we got a compensitory 3rd it would come after pick #96 overall. Those are better than nothing, but not that great either._________________Earn more sessions by sleeving.
